Thread regarding Walmart Pharmacy layoffs

Things need to change... ASAP...

As our professional meltdown continues... We need a nationwide professional organization that advocates for pharmacists.

I am not talking union here as unions only advocate for members and typically do not pay attention about the profession as a whole.

Pharmacists an organization that pushes back on the large corporations and mega health systems lobbyin efforts that infiltrate the APhA/ASHP/laws/pharmacy boards, gets ACPE to push standards on schools and actually suspend schools that under-perform, gets pharmacy boards to create strong regulations to help pharmacists, and makes the NAPLEX+MPJE no longer minimum competency exams letting unqualified folks through and more like a bar or CPA exam with a sub 50% pass rate.

Pharmacy technician here, got told today that my position was cut. Could finish out the rest of my shift or any further scheduled shifts. I had 60 days to apply for something else or take a severance. My pharmacy manager that told me this wasn't given any further information as to what that actually means.

I was a full time technician, with the company 14 years total, 4 years this time around. There was still a technician in training that got to keep their job. Our lead tech was also safe. As were the 4 part time technicians.

The over abundance of new grads allows these corps to further push down wages and replace pharmacists as they please.

If you have a new grad with a six figure loan, they are willing to take that sub $40 per hour just to have a steady job.

Let's start with a moratorium on precepting student pharmacists. Sounds harsh but if students can't get rotation placements the schools won't be able to meet (the few) accreditation standards.
